Our client appeared before the court facing two motoring charges: one for speeding and another for failing to provide driver information (a Section 172 offence). The position was that a dual conviction would have carried cumulative penalty points, hefty financial penalties, and a significantly damaged driving record.
Following a detailed pre-hearing conference to assess the evidence and the legal parameters of his instructions, our team negotiated with the Crown Prosecution Service. We successfully reached an agreement where our client entered a guilty plea to the speeding offence, and in return, the prosecution offered no evidence regarding the more serious Section 172 charge, dropping it entirely. By presenting careful mitigation for the speeding matter, we secured a highly favourable outcome; his licence was endorsed with just 3 penalty points alongside a managed financial penalty.
